Tesla's target consumer is not the sort of person who shares Musk's personal or political views. Add the facts that you can't even be sure what you're going to get when you buy one of their cars, that the company has constantly overpromised and underdelivered, interest rates are high, and there's simply more competition in the electric space... why buy a Tesla?

Aside from all of that, Musk's views on his expectations from employees alone would have been enough to turn me off from ever purchasing one of those cars.
